Marvel is still gathering some top acting talent for its TV shows, and Secret Invasion is the latest to boost its ensemble. Joining the likes of Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn and the recently-recruited Kingsley Ben-Adir is no less an actor than Olivia Colman.

Yep, the Oscar-winning performer who has played queens, managers, secretaries, and so much more, is taking on an unknown role in the series, which finds Jackson's Nick Fury and Mendelsohn's Skrull Talos looking to stop a faction of the latter's shape-changing race infiltrating the Earth (with Ben-Adir as the apparent leader of the schemers). Now we really want to see Colman given the chance to either A) dress down Jackson as his annoyed boss, B) chew the scenery as a baddie or C) both.

Mr Robot and Berlin Station veteran Kyle Bradstreet is leading the writers on this one, while Marvel is locking down directors for a potential shoot later this year in the UK and Europe. The Colman conquest continues!
